Make Halloween Soap Hand Sanitizer

My inspiration for our Halloween soap idea came from a cool site which actually made soap with LEGO! I definitely thought we could make Halloween soap to leave by our sinks. Even if you don’t decorate much for Halloween, this would be such a cute item to add for a little punch of Halloween decor. Plus it will encourage periodic hand washing too! Making Halloween soap is super quick and easy once you have your supplies.

EASY TO MAKE SPOOKY HALLOWEEN SOAP

GET KIDS TO WASH THEIR HANDS THE FUN WAY!

….With spooky Halloween soap!

We had great fun making our Halloween hand soap and deciding what items to put in the different colors! I will save you the trouble and tell you that google eyes are not a great idea! Our green Halloween soap was going to be monster eyes themed. However the eyes clumped together and no amount of pushing or stirring was going to get them to mix! I had to empty this soap and start over!

HALLOWEEN SOAP SUPPLIES:

Hand soap, sanitizer, or all natural soap.

Choose whatever you like but clear is best. I chose Halloween colors for our Halloween soap. You can either use empty containers and put your soap in yourself or purchase already filled containers which I chose to do. You will want to remove labels. If you have trouble removing them, rubbing alcohol does the trick and removed any sticky residue left over.

Halloween Items!

Items that work best for the Halloween soap are plastic spiders and other plastic items like skeletons. I have both black spiders and glow in the dark spiders. We also used fun skull beads and pumpkin buttons. We had some pumpkins and bats table confetti/scatter left over from our awesome Homemade Bat SlimeandJack O’Lantern Slime.

Additionally, I used a skewer to move the objects around and push them down. Have fun choosing items, but remember, they have to be able to fit through the opening! Some items we initially chose could not be used!

Making Halloween soap takes very little time. Simply open up the containers and stick your items inside! I used a skewer to push things around a bit to make room. You will find that eventually most things settle depending on weight, but you can give it a stir or a good shake again if you like.

There’s even a science lesson built into this activity. Which items will sink the quickest? Which items will remain suspended. You could even bring up a mini lesson in viscosity. Test out water in comparison to the soap since you are by the sink!

For the green Halloween soap, I used some glow in the dark spiders and skeleton parts. I saved a mixed bag of plastic Halloween parts purchased at the dollar store last year for our play this year! The skulls, pumpkin buttons, and table scatter all came from the craft store. These items are also fun added to slime! Leave a Halloween soap at each sink in your house. Give one to friends or bring one to your child’s classroom {if allowed}. This easy Halloween soap activity makes a simple Halloween decoration even for those who don’t care to decorate!

Encourage frequent hand washing this Fall with Halloween soap!
